Classic Roadster Style Hubcaps for 986?

[timstertaiwan]

I'm trying to make my 1997 986 look even more classic roadster and I was wondering if anyone has seen or knows where to get OR if its even possible to put old style hubcaps on a Boxster 986. Rather than spokes I'd like something more flat/saucer-like.

Just putting it out there

Stick to the period in which a car was produced, IMHO. the car was made in an era of non-hubcap wheels, stick to that design thought. It's your car but...

I agree, it wouldn't improve the looks or value with wheels not designed for that period, but perhaps may satisfy your own personal vision of your P car

Appreciate the feedback. I suppose in the same way some guys like their cars to look sportier and change the side skirts for example... i just love the roadster aesthetic to the vehicle and want to enhance that.

Definitely not looking for a value or performance increase. Just scratching a personal itch.

If you do go with hubcaps, go all the way and add some curb feelers, can't go wrong there

You might have to use wheel adapters and use wheels made for a different make as you won't have a lot of choices with the 5x130 bolt pattern. I'm guessing that you'll only find 5x130 to 5x4.75 or 5x4.50 adapters.

I agree, the early boxters would look great with retro ,ie RSK type wheels. Anybody know if it would be possible the widen our space saver spares ?:dance:
